Budget
Outside the gate
Locally owned
The third of the Khwai Development Trust's campsites, alongside Magotho and Sable Alley, and the one that rarely gets listed. Same arrangement as the others: you book direct with the trust in Maun and the money stays with the community that holds the land north of the river. The rate comes from the trust's own page; the facilities are unconfirmed, so read it as basic 4x4 camping.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Run by the community trust that holds the concession
- A large open site among leadwood and combretum trees
- Five kilometres from Magotho, in the same trust area
Cons
- For tour operator groups only, not independent travellers
- No facilities or fences at this site
- Capacity is not published by the trust
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Indicative 2026 rates per person per night sharing, gathered July 2026 from operators' own rate sheets where published.

Questions about Matswere Campsite
Can you book Matswere Campsite as an independent traveller?
No, according to the trust's own page. Matswere Campsite is listed as for tour operator groups only, unlike Magotho and Sable Alley, which the Khwai Development Trust also runs. Independent self-drive travellers should book one of those two sites instead.
What facilities does Matswere Campsite have?
None. The trust's own page describes Matswere as a large open area with no facilities or fences, set among leadwood and combretum trees about five kilometres from Magotho. Bring everything you need, since this is basic 4x4 camping booked through a tour operator.
How much does Matswere Campsite cost?
The trust's own rate list quotes P515 per person per night, roughly $38, the most expensive of its three sites against P400 at Magotho and Sable Alley. The trust does not explain what the extra cost buys, so ask when your operator books it.
